Is there something wrong with wanting a worship service to be reverent? All I know is we’re trying it in a different way and from the words of the OP, it’s not working too well. God’s isn’t in charge. People are inventing their “personal Jesus”. Should we really be surprised when they feel unfulfilled and leave?
Obviously we agree to disagree. Be well.
I hear what you are saying and I have also said the same. To the extent you may be correct, I may not be incorrect. I offer this to you on the subject of worship. Go in Peace.
